THE SKINNER ADVENTURE IN WINE
As true adventurers, we never turn down the opportunity to discover and explore cultures, places, food, and wine. While on one of such adventures exploring the foothills of the California Sierra Mountains, a chance encounter uncovered a family heritage steeped in winemaking. In 1861, our Scottish great-great-great-grandfather, James Skinner, established one of the first wineries in the county.
James Skinner’s story inspired us to begin our own wine adventure and revive our family’s heritage. Today, our properties sit close to where James Skinner’s original vineyard and winery once stood.
